"Tabernacle" is another term found here as well as there (Lu 9: 31, 33): an undesigned coincidence confirming Peter's authorship of this Epistle. that ye may be able -- by the help of this written Epistle; and perhaps also of Mark's Gospel, which Peter superintended. always -- Greek, "on each occasion": as often as occasion may require. to have ... in remembrance -- Greek, "to exercise remembrance of."

Some children revealed poor teaching on the Eucharist "In the Tabernacle is the blessed bread" but others had clearly been very well taught, and were able to explain about the Mass,and the Real Presence with reverence and understanding.

But Hebrews has in mind the cleansing of the Tabernacle, which is what would make the grain sin offering acceptable in the first place, so, in a manner of speaking, the shedding of blood is necessary for forgiveness.
